    <!-- -*- mode: rst -*- -->
<p>As well as creating <a class="reference external" href="./lexerdevelopment.html">your own lexer</a>, writing a new
formatter for Pygments is easy and straightforward.</p>
<p>A formatter is a class that is initialized with some keyword arguments (the
formatter options) and that must provides a <cite>format()</cite> method.
Additionally a formatter should provide a <cite>get_style_defs()</cite> method that
returns the style definitions from the style in a form usable for the
formatter's output format.</p>
<div class="section" id="quickstart">
<h3>Quickstart</h3>
<p>The most basic formatter shipped with Pygments is the <cite>NullFormatter</cite>. It just
sends the value of a token to the output stream:</p>
<div class="syntax"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pygments.formatter</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Formatter</span>

<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">NullFormatter</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Formatter</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">format</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">tokensource</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">outfile</span><span class="p">):</span>
        <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">ttype</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">value</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">tokensource</span><span class="p">:</span>
            <span class="n">outfile</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">write</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
<p>As you can see, the <cite>format()</cite> method is passed two parameters: <cite>tokensource</cite>
and <cite>outfile</cite>. The first is an iterable of <tt class="docutils literal">(token_type, value)</tt> tuples,
the latter a file like object with a <cite>write()</cite> method.</p>
<p>Because the formatter is that basic it doesn't overwrite the <cite>get_style_defs()</cite>
method.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="styles">
<h3>Styles</h3>
<p>Styles aren't instantiated but their metaclass provides some class functions
so that you can access the style definitions easily.</p>
<p>Styles are iterable and yield tuples in the form <tt class="docutils literal">(ttype, d)</tt> where <cite>ttype</cite>
is a token and <cite>d</cite> is a dict with the following keys:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'color'</tt></dt>
<dd>Hexadecimal color value (eg: <tt class="docutils literal">'ff0000'</tt> for red) or <cite>None</cite> if not
defined.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'bold'</tt></dt>
<dd><cite>True</cite> if the value should be bold</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'italic'</tt></dt>
<dd><cite>True</cite> if the value should be italic</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'underline'</tt></dt>
<dd><cite>True</cite> if the value should be underlined</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'bgcolor'</tt></dt>
<dd>Hexadecimal color value for the background (eg: <tt class="docutils literal">'eeeeeee'</tt> for light
gray) or <cite>None</cite> if not defined.</dd>
<dt><tt class="docutils literal">'border'</tt></dt>
<dd>Hexadecimal color value for the border (eg: <tt class="docutils literal">'0000aa'</tt> for a dark
blue) or <cite>None</cite> for no border.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Additional keys might appear in the future, formatters should ignore all keys
they don't support.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="html-3-2-formatter">
<h3>HTML 3.2 Formatter</h3>
<p>For an more complex example, let's implement a HTML 3.2 Formatter. We don't
use CSS but inline markup (<tt class="docutils literal">&lt;u&gt;</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">&lt;font&gt;</tt>, etc). Because this isn't good
style this formatter isn't in the standard library ;-)</p>

<p>The comments should explain it. Again, this formatter doesn't override the
<cite>get_style_defs()</cite> method. If we would have used CSS classes instead of
inline HTML markup, we would need to generate the CSS first. For that
purpose the <cite>get_style_defs()</cite> method exists:</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="generating-style-definitions">
<h3>Generating Style Definitions</h3>
<p>Some formatters like the <cite>LatexFormatter</cite> and the <cite>HtmlFormatter</cite> don't
output inline markup but reference either macros or css classes. Because
the definitions of those are not part of the output, the <cite>get_style_defs()</cite>
method exists. It is passed one parameter (if it's used and how it's used
is up to the formatter) and has to return a string or <tt class="docutils literal">None</tt>.</p>
